Podcasts - Digital Twins and Water

October 28, 2020

A number of interesting podcasts relating to water.

Podcast 1: Digital Twins and Water Utility Capital Planning
Water utilities continue to have to address the persistent external challenges associated to the infrastructure budget gap, ensuring that consumers trust the reliability and safety of water services, and that the systems that deliver these services are resilient. Additionally, internal issues may prevent improved insights and more efficient processes around capital planning. Digital twins help utilities take a data-driven approach to capital planning so that time is spent on preventative planning versus reacting to issues, and the decisions made yield the highest value for each dollar of investment.

Speakers: Dr. Tom Walski, Bentley Fellow, Water Infrastructure; Ari Opdahl, Senior Product Manager, Water Infrastructure

Podcast 2: Digital Twins and Water Utility Operations and Maintenance
Water utilities face operations and maintenance challenges related to rapidly aging infrastructure, regulatory requirements, changes in customer demands, availability of funds, among others. Many utilities have SCADA and various systems that provide detailed data to help them remain responsive and resilient in the face of these challenges. Often, however, utilities are data-rich and information poor and lack the tools to visualize, assemble, and analyze the data they do collect so that they can present this data in a readily understandable and actionable way for decision-making. With digital twins, you can more easily identify and quantify vulnerabilities, efficiently test mitigation strategies before implementation, and stage and prioritize processes for operations and maintenance. You can also consider future changes for capital planning. Learn more about Digital Twins in Water Utilities.

Speakers: Joel Johnson, Manager, Product Success, Water Infrastructure

Podcast 3: Digital Twins and Water Utility Emergency Preparedness

A water utility must remain responsive and resilient, but emergencies occur that can interrupt services or the quality of services. Additionally, internal issues may cause the utility to remain reactive versus proactive when it comes to emergency response. With digital twins, you can more easily identify and quantify vulnerabilities, efficiently test mitigation strategies before implementation, and stage and prioritize processes for operations and maintenance. You can also consider future changes for capital planning. Learn more about Digital Twins in Water Utilities.
